Sign the petition and save the Internet as we know it now or have the ISP's slowing/blocking and charging more for Internet use This Includes "Vaping Underground" ...SO LET'S STOP THE SHAKE DOWN!

What is said in the petition

"Dear Senators and Representatives:

There is no doubt that the public wants real Net Neutrality. Right now, the Federal Communications Commission is on the brink of fixing a decade of bad policies and preventing ISPs from discriminating online.

In short: Let the FCC do its job. Right now the agency has no authority over the most important communications medium ever created. By reclassifying Internet-access service under Title II of the Communications Act, the FCC can protect Internet users from online discrimination and blocking. Any other approach will fall short.

Don't put the public in the slow lane. Protect real Net Neutrality now.

Thank you,"

Sure. Why should ISPs get to fuck over everybody on BOTH ends of the pipe?

Any of which should be more than enough to be able to read a few websites. That is before the ISPs start throttling those non-preferred sites.

Vaping Underground is not hosted in America - we did that on purpose for such issues.
Though I still don't want to see any regulation of the internet!

@VaporJoes ... This is very impotent for everyone...you have more power then me on here to get the message out...All i'm asking is if you could look into this a bit more and maybe make a sticky or a public note about this matter with the link I provided until Feb 26th to tell Congress, the Senate and FCC to keep Net Neutrality and say NO to the Greedy ISP's
 
The people want net neutrality. I've been on this issue since 2007 when Comcast was throttling people's bittorrent packets. This is a very important issue to me. However, this is NOT the way to go about it ensuring neutrality. Giving the FCC more power to regulate the Internet as a utility is a terrible idea that will ultimately backfire.

When the Internet is classified as just another utility, the FCC most likely will ask ISP's to pay 16% of their user revenue to the Universal Services Fund, which of course will be passed onto the consumer. This won't happen right away, but they WILL find a way to tax the Internet. 16% will be added to your bill at some point.

In addition, the FCC will pass out exemptions to their buddies to that they can control packets of information how their buddies see fit. Like John Oliver was saying, it's like having a dingo as a babysitter.

Thank you!...I don't think a lot of people have a understanding or don't know what this is really about and the time they do it could be to late...We beat the "SOPA" Bill and I really hope we beat this!
